AB  - Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) is a recognised variant of lupus 
      erythematosus (LE), which accounts for 10-15% of all cases of cutaneous LE, 
      occurring most commonly in young to middle-aged white women. Diagnosis is based 
      on the detection of anti-Ro/SS-A antibodies in the skin and serum, characteristic 
      clinical and histological cutaneous involvement, and relatively mild systemic 
      involvement. Several unusual variants of SCLE have been reported including 
      erythrodermic SCLE, SCLE with vitiligo-like lesions, acral SCLE and bullous SCLE. 
      Poikoilodermatous SCLE is a recognised but rare variant of SCLE. There are 
      currently only two case reports, comprising five individual cases, in the 
      literature. We present a case of SCLE in which the main clinical findings were an 
      extensive photodistributed poikilodermatous rash and alopecia.
